Senior Engineer - Hardware (E&E)

About the organization

Core accountabilities

• Use PCB design software for schematic capture, component library management, SPICE analysis, and layout design.
• Design electronic safety and arming devices to military standards such as MIL-STD-1316.
• Design with FPGAs, MCUs, and DDR memories, and create advanced multilayer PCB layouts using blind-buried vias, via-in-pad, BGA, SMT, and PTH components.
• Design PCBs for harsh military environments and embedded systems, including integration of passive and active components.
• Separate analog and digital layout domains to maintain signal integrity and minimize interference.
• Create power-system PCB layouts covering placement, routing, power planes, and thermal management; design for low EMI and noise through grounding, shielding, and filtering.
• Generate BOMs, Gerber files, assembly drawings, and detailed PCB documentation compliant with applicable IPC and military standards.
• Mentor and train junior technical personnel; use debugging tools and test and troubleshoot hardware with oscilloscopes and logic analysers.

Qualifications and experience

• Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, or a related discipline.
• At least 8 years of experience in VHDL code writing.
• Knowledge and understanding of Altium Designer.
• Track record of successfully functioning PCB designs in a defense context and capability to troubleshoot PCB prototype hardware.
• Knowledge of digital electronics, power supplies and converters (buck, boost, fly-back, inverters, and DC/DC), high-speed data handling, and the defense industry.

Technical scope

• PCB design, embedded systems, FPGA, MCU, DDR memory, signal integrity, EMI mitigation, and power-system design.
• Hardware testing, troubleshooting, SPICE analysis, and use of oscilloscopes and logic analysers.
• Applicable IPC and military standards, including MIL-STD-1316.
